Strategy
Throughout the game, Wasp is often purchased as a counter to DPS units like Marksman or Phoenix and as a strong flank defender that can defeat most flanks of equal or lesser value on its own. Any Wasp play often requires a dedicated response, as technologies like Range Enhancement or Energy Shield can make the Wasp even more difficult to kill, leading to devastating rounds if unchecked. Wasp has the most technologies available of any unit, many of which provide a unique form of utility or help in a specific matchup. While Range Enhancement and Energy Shield are perhaps the most common technologies used, Aerial Specialization is unbeatable in the mirror against other Wasps and Ground Specialization turns wasps into a terrifying DPS threat. Jump Drive helps the Wasps target the region where the opponent is weakest, while Electromagnetic Shot is one of the cheapest sources of EMP in the game. Elite Marksman can turn the wasp into an unstoppable late game carry unit with enough levels. High-Explosive Ammo allows Wasps to chaff clear, but often needs other techs and units to keep the Wasp alive long enough.
